Discretix, a provider of embedded security solutions, announced that HTC, a designer of mobile phones, has selected Discretix to deliver OMA DRM (Digital Rights Management) capability in HTC's smartphones.
The solution, already in deployment, is protecting all forms of premium content according to the latest OMA standards.
The latest DRM specification from the Open Mobile Alliance standards body, adds several new features that reflect the changing needs of content usage. They include subscription based services as well as a metering capability that allows for royalty collection based on actual content usage. OMA DRM also adds support for user-editable metadata as well as inclusion of content issuer-defined metadata such as artist, title and genre information.
Taiwan-based HTC is one of the fastest-growing companies in the mobile sector. Its branded smartphones run both the Android and Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems. Sold in over 100 countries around the world, HTC phones are marketed by mobile operators including Orange, O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Cingular, Verizon, Sprint and NTT DoCoMo.
"Discretix is pleased to extend our relationship with HTC, a provider of smartphone innovation and one of the most respected handset manufacturers in Asia," said Raanan Tzemach, EVP Content Protection BU manager for Discretix.
